The Orange Volunteer Fire Department has received information that town residents are receiving a solicitation for support from an organization identifying themselves as the “Volunteer Firefighter Alliance,” according to a statement from fire chief Vaughan I. Dumas. The department, the town, or residents do not benefit from any funds this organization receives.
“The Orange Fire Department is an all-volunteer fire department that provides fire suppression, rescue, public safety and community service to the Town of Orange. We do our own fundraising without paying a percentage of the revenue for solicitation services,” the statement says.
